LaToya Foster: Do you still get the same excitement and butterflies when you hit that stage?Ron: It’s like I’m starting all over again.

LaToya: That’s interesting. It would seem like when you walk out there it’s just with so much ease. It’s just second nature now.Ron:You’re right. I never get butterflies, but I feel the same thing that I felt when we first started. You know, something to prove, something to show the audience.

LaToya: What do you have to prove?Ron: You have to prove that you can still be good, you can sing those songs like they want to hear them. Just that, you know, I can’t do the splits no more. [laughs]

LaToya: Do you still try a little bit? [laughter]Ron: No, I ain’t gonna try that and tear up my pants. [laughter]
